Folds in part

Wellcare Dual Access Sync (H1032-241) is not offered under this ID in 2027. The CMS plan crosswalk of October 1, 2026 moves its members into Wellcare Sunshine Health Dual Align Unity (H1032-250), in the 1 county where that plan is sold (19 members in September 2026). In its other 10 counties (203 members) there is no plan to move into: coverage ends December 31, 2026, and members there need to choose a new plan (counties with fewer than 11 members are not counted). The crosswalk also lists part of the plan as terminated without saying which members; your Annual Notice of Change says whether you move to a new plan or your coverage ends.

What can members do, and by when?

If you live in Okeechobee (FL)

If you do nothing: You are moved into Wellcare Sunshine Health Dual Align Unity on January 1, 2027.
October 15 to December 7, 2026: Open enrollment: choose another Medicare Advantage plan, or Original Medicare with a drug plan, instead.

If you live in Charlotte (FL), Collier (FL), DeSoto (FL), Glades (FL), Hardee (FL), Hendry (FL), Highlands (FL), Lee (FL), Manatee (FL), Sarasota (FL)

Your coverage: Ends December 31, 2026: Wellcare Sunshine Health Dual Align Unity is not sold where you live.
October 15 to December 7, 2026: Open enrollment: join another Medicare Advantage plan, or Original Medicare with a drug plan. Coverage starts January 1, 2027.
December 8, 2026 to the end of February 2027: A special enrollment period because the plan is leaving: you can still join a plan, but coverage starts the first day of the month after you join, so choose by December 31 to have no gap.
If you do nothing: You are enrolled in Original Medicare when the plan ends, without a drug plan unless you join one (with Extra Help or full Medicaid, Medicare enrolls you in one).
Without a drug plan: Going 63 days or more in a row without drug coverage can mean a late enrollment penalty if you join a drug plan later; joining by the end of February keeps a January and February gap under 63 days, waiting longer does not.

If you have Medicaid or Extra Help: You can switch to a different drug plan, or leave a Medicare Advantage plan for Original Medicare with a drug plan, once a calendar month; the change starts the first day of the next month.
